“…In general, the rape victim literature has focused on assessing primarily negative reactions (for a review, see Ahrens & Campbell, 2000). For example, affective responses identified in the literature have included anger, rage, resentment, physical revulsion, anxiety, concern, hostility, intrusive thoughts, low self-esteem/self-worth, powerlessness, post-traumatic stress disorder, vulnerability, guilt, self-blame, helplessness, desires for revenge and retribution, depression, fearfulness, denial, humiliation, resentment, shame, emotional drain, hurt, loss (e.g., of one's sense of security, of one's view of the world as fair), grief, shock, and feelings of being trapped, of failure to protect the victim, of threats to self-image, and of inadequacy (Burge, 1983;Emm & McKenry, 1988;Feinauer, 1982;Feinauer & Hoppolite, 1987;Figley, 1983;Holmstrom & Burgess, 1979;Miller, Williams, & Bernstein, 1982;Mitchell, 1991;Remer & Elliot, 1988;Riggs & Kilpatrick, 1997;Rodkin, Hunt, & Cowan, 1982;Silverman, 1978;Stone, 1980;White & Rollins, 1981; for a review, see Petrak, 2002).…”

“…In a large-scale critical review, Cytrynbaum et al (1979) found that only five out of 200 studies using the GAS fulfilled all three basic requirements. Few subsequent studies reported quantitative findings (Beidel et al, 1983;Evans, Smith, Halar, & Kiolet, 1985;Greer, 1980;Hovne, 1984;Miller, Williams, & Bernstein, 1982;Thompson, 1985), only Hovne reported reliability, and none fulfilled the basic methodological requirements of the GAS. Mintz and Kiesler (1982) supported the combination of individualized and universal measures in psychotherapy research.…”

This study tested the reliability and validity of Goal-Attainment Scaling (GAS) in assessing outcome in Mann's Time-Limited Psychotherapy (TLP). Judges constructed GAS scales for 33 patients on five dimensions: severity of symptoms, self-esteem, same-sex friendships, romantic relationships, and work performance. Patients in the treatment group received 12 sessions of TLP, whereas controls were in a waiting list for the same period of time (12 weeks) before starting time-limited psychotherapy. Judges rated all patients on GAS before beginning therapy, at termination, and follow-up. Mean interrater reliability of scores between pairs of judges was r = .88. Convergent validity of the GAS was confirmed by moderate to high correlations with the Health-Sickness Rating Scale (r = .70, p < .001), the Target Complaints Scale (r = .50, p <.01), and the Brief Symptom Inventory (r = .38, p < .05). The findings are discussed and recommendations are made for the reliable and valid use of the GAS in psychotherapy outcome research.

Ces conséquences de l'agression peuvent avoir un impact négatif sur le soutien provenant du conjoint.…”

“…Ces conséquences de l'agression peuvent avoir un impact négatif sur le soutien provenant du conjoint. Miller et al (1982) ajoutent que l'agression sexuelle affecte les aspects déjà vulnérables de la relation de couple en agissant comme facteur supplémentaire de stress. Ainsi, l'événement perturbe sérieusement les relations interpersonnelles et intensifie la détresse.…”
